Re: title transfer and heirs
Here is what Clark County, Nevada procedure requires, as disclosed in its Probate Court website (all numerical references are to Nevada Revised Statutes):
AFTER APPROVAL OF EACH ACCOUNTING (OR AFTER 30-DAY APPEAL PERIOD IF CONTESTED):
Personal representative makes distributions as approved by court order.
If real estate is being distributed, record certified copy of order in each
county in which real estate is located. After order is recorded, insert
recording information into personal representative�s deed, which should be
signed, acknowledged before a notary, and recorded.
Send distributees' receipts to all distributees named in the court order to have them signed and returned to us.
After final account approved and distributees' receipts (or cancelled checks or other vouchers) have been received:
Prepare supplementary accounting, if required. [150.115];
Submit original Final Discharge Order (with copy of Decree of Final
Distribution) to the Probate Commissioner�s office. [151.230; 150.115]
Re: title transfer and heirs
Not necessarily. The heirs can hire and attorney or the Successor Trustee can do the deed.
